Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The club should take some reponsibilty for what they coached out of him. That there, is one bloody good half.

That's one game. He'll have played 200 more after this season is done. Tim Sheens will be his 5th coach.

I don't know how you explain 4 different coaches over 10 seasons individually and collectively coached good footy "out of him".

The easier explanation is he just can't maintain the standard he set at his debut, and you don't get many chances to surprise your opposition.

Why dont you read the proceeding posts that outlined a history - or maybe you are just another one of the i want it now generation.ILet me see..how long have we been paying him????

II want that level of performance NOW and the ensuing10 years ago based on his debut and the windfall $$ that have gone in his direction subsequently only to regress backwards almost every year..to the point were now spooners,with worst attack in nRL..and hes stillthe 7
Brooks is finally on notice from the club. to perform his future renewal shldnt be dictated to by I Moses manager yet again, but by WTs based on his form and wher it resembles the success of 10 years ago

Moses’s having a massive ego mixed with some real skill will love the challenge of being the top gun. Latrell said one of the reasons he knocked us back was he did not want the expectations that go with the salary, Moses is a different breed, he will thrive on it

Pfffft!!

Latrell loves the limelight!

Just didn't want to play for us!

Their best Junior imo (Joey O’Neill) wont hang around now they have signed and given a top 30 spot to the young Bronco. O’Neill is better than any of our Flegg & Reggies halves. He is just one of several outstanding players they will lose.

Wonder if this is who Buzz is talking about?

Averillo or Kyle?

Averillo or Kyle?

Can't imagine clubs lining up for Kyle. Also thinking it is a half with Buzz listing Oloapu and Reynolds (so maybe not Averillo..although there would be clubs after him).

Someone whose path has been blocked is my guess. Could be Khaled Rhajab, Bailey Howard, Joseph O'Neill. All talented halves whose path to 1st grade was just made more difficult.

Might be worth a chat....

Gus said Khaled likely to debut this year at 7

SHOOSH

Witch journalist has had a few too many wines on a Sunday night and tried to stir the pot without releasing any information. word has it he just makes this nonsense up.
Some of the biggest names in the game think his retirement is just around the corner

I don’t think a shoosh article has every eventuated to anything honestly such nonsense

Still looking I think? Maybe hes coming in a pkg deal with Moses?

Through no fault of their own...yes. Brooks is definitely a product of his environment and I imagine he's not alone.
I think he is much better than many on here believe.

A poster here mentioned a name of a young gun the other week

Agree, I think you can say as fact the club has not provided the best environment during his tenure.

Poor coaching and squads to name a few.

Yes he is better than people give him credit for.

However he definitely played a part in some of those coaches being moved on.

Use to think the Tigers just needed a few quality players to say.... I could go there and help that struggling club become successful.

Seems like this has finally happened.

Ice, Api, Klemmer and Bateman...

Along with a guy like Offa extending, who would've truly had offers from other places (dolphins!?)

Some good prospects coming through- Pole, Kautoga, Tupou, etc......

+ our junior talents.

It's time for us to shed the east beats image and become a powerhouse.

U18 ASSRL CHAMPIONSHIP 2012 DRAW

ourfootyteam-archives.com.au

This is a rundown of that competition. Unfortunately it doesn't give you team sheets . I do know that Bryce Cartwright, DWZ and Adam Elliott were in the side. But if you look through the page there are a lot of current NRL players in there. Joe O for Qld, Matt Lodge, Clint Gutho, Dylan Walker etc. Then if you look at the Aust Schoolboys team its a who's who. Joe O couldn't make the side to play England who had an Academy player by the name of John Bateman. People who think that pathways don't matter should look at this type of thing.

Thats a good website even though hard to read...use

Last roll of the dice afaic

Na man, C'Mon surely you'd be all over this one....
Surely it be that young fella from the Lebanon WC plays 6 or 1 - Rajab is it?
I didn't see him in their top 30...
Fresh off going pretty well in a WC - To come back and have a couple of no ones signed in front of him.... Competitive Lebanese boy - Kids got something about him...
My bet would be him.


Madge Maybe.... Potter was moved after Brooks first year in grade - Everyone knows why
Taylor in an attempt to salvage the rest of the big 3.
He obviously wasn't working well with Madge - Although, You'd be stretched to find someone that was.

Rajeb probably go to the Storm and be the next big thing.

Luke looks really good when he runs the ball.
Let’s hope that Tim and Benji encourage him to take on the line and run the ball more this year.

 

[bathursttiger1]

I told myself I’d no longer comment on Brooks but can we please stop hanging on to one game from 10 years ago….

There are other highlights videos as well, other than his debut.
